4th of July!

My baby on the 4th. She was running all over the golf course and then just sat to enjoy the view.
She loves her little cousin Carter. Don't know if he quite loves the hugs though.

For the 4th we headed down to White Bluff for a long weekend. Scott was off on Friday so we headed down on Thursday afternoon when he got home. We had a great time! Friday morning Scott, his dad and brother golfed while Gloria, Hayden and I headed to Hillsboro for some shopping therapy. I always hit the Carter's outlet and found a cute outfit for Hayden and some really cute stuff for Jack. It was so much fun shopping for a boy, much more than I thought it would be. Friday night we took Hayden to the pool after dinner and she had a good time. It's a beach pool which is different than our pool at home so she had to get used to it. Saturday morning the other Tennison's came over in time for breakfast. The kids all ate at their table while they enjoyed some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. After breakfast we hit the pool again will all three kids. It was busy but so much fun. They had a great time and did not want to leave. Saturday night we went down to the marina on the lake to watch the big fireworks show they have every year. This time we took Scott's truck instead of my Tahoe so we could sit in the bed and enjoy. Hayden enjoyed the fireworks for a bit and then she was over it. No attention span! All in all we had a great weekend and much needed break.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

This was a cute basket I made for Abby's birthday. It had flip flops in it, a beach towel, sunglasses and a cute visor.
The Birthday girl!

My hot sweaty girl

Oh my gosh, it was hot this weekend. Saturday afternoon we went to a birthday party for our cousin Abby who turned 2. It was at a park in Waxahachie and it was hotter than hot. As soon as we got out of the car we were drenched. Hayden was soaking wet and her hair looked like she had taken a shower or been swimming. She still looked cute though. Kudos for my Aunt Darla for braving the park and putting on a great party regardless. We didn't get to stay too long with hot baby girl and sweaty prego lady. As soon as we got home Hayden, Daddy and I got in the pool and swam for a couple of hours. It was so nice so we decided to spend Sunday out by the pool too. Hayden is loving her big pool and getting more and more comfortable. We have a busy week and weekend planned with hopefully many pics. I work Wednesday and then Thursday we are heading down to White Bluff for the 4th. Should be lots of fun with lots to do. Hope everyone has a good week and a Happy 4th!

Date Night!

Tonight Scott and I get a date night. I am so excited! I worked the last two days, never will I do two in a row I am exhausted, so we are going to treat ourselves tonight. My parents wanted to keep Hayden one night this weekend and I gladly accepted their offer. I don't know what we are going to do but being able to actually sit and have a conversation without interruptions is great. I don't care if we just stay in, cook dinner and rent a movie, but Scott said we could go out. We'll see, I am just looking forward to some quality time with my honey. Hope everyone had a good week and has a great weekend!

Some swimming pics!

Here is Hayden in her cute bikini. I don't know why it is so fuzzy. She loves to run around the yard in her bathing suit rather than actually swim in the pool.

A little snack while lounging in her chair. The good thing is mommy gets to get some sun too while Hayden is playing around. We are really enjoying being outside in the yard.

Bad Blogger!

I have been an awful blogger lately. We have been so busy around here. I am picking up extra at work and trying to work 2 days a week until the baby is born or until I physically can't do it anymore. This time since I am PRN I won't get paid while I'm on maternity leave so we want to save as much as possible. It really sucks, but I wouldn't trade the opportunity to be a stay at home mom, sort of, for anything. The pregnancy is going great, everything is right on schedule and Jack is getting bigger and bigger everyday. Mommy can really tell and I will post pics as soon as I have a half way decent one to post. Hayden has been busier than ever and she is already starting to go through the terrible two's thing. She is still for the most part our sweet and funny girl but oh my gosh she has her moments. When she has a melt down it is a melt down and there is no pacifying or fixing it. She is so much fun though. She is talking non stop and so smart. We have been to Whitney several weekends, a wedding here and there and trying to enjoy our backyard and pool in between there. The rest of the summer and months until Jack comes are going to be crazy. My brothers wedding is about a week before my due date so we have showers and parties between then and now. I am giving my future sis in law a shower one weekend and we have to throw in showers for me and Hayden's 2nd birthday party. Wow! I am getting overwhelmed just thinking about it. Oh and we have to paint and get Jack's nursery ready. I know it will all work out and be fun and it will make the time go by really fast until he is here. I will post pics of what we have been up to as soon as I can get my pictures off my camera. Have a great week everyone!

Memorial Day!

Hayden and her baby are ready to go to White Bluff!
Still waiting on mom and dad.

Here are a few pics from Memorial Weekend. We went down to White Bluff, where Scott's parents live and had a great weekend. We got there Friday night and went to bed early. Saturday morning Scott played golf with his dad and Gloria, Hayden and I played outside all morning. The weather was beautiful. We got ready to leave for Maryn's birthday party and the rain poured down. When we got to Cleburne we opened presents, went out to dinner and then came back and ate cake. We headed back to White Bluff that evening and once again were beat and headed to bed early. Sunday was another beautiful day and the guys played golf. We ate every meal outside on the patio and had our morning coffee out there while Hayden played. Sunday I think we never left the patio and the T.V. was never turned on (which with hubby's and father in laws is a blessing). Gloira made chicken fajitas and all the fixins for Sunday dinner and it was awesome. We ended up leaving Sunday night late so that we could be home on Monday and spend some time in our own yard. Hayden, Nana, and I ended up shopping all day but "hey" that works too. Enjoy!

Baby Boy!

Ok, so we have decided on a name for baby boy. There was much debate and we really did not agree on any other name but this one, which we both love. It is going to be Jackson Daniel and we are going to call him Jack. We both love the name Jack and wanted him to for sure be called Jack. For obvious reasons we are not going to name him Jack Daniel and when we thought about reversing it and calling him Daniel Jack then we will have to forever explain "but he goes by his middle name Jack". So Jackson it is! Daniel is Scott's middle name so we really wanted to use it and Jack was his grandfathers name. We are very excited now to get to call him something and it feels real now. We are very excited to meet our little man Jack.
